Given that played contains values, I assume, that are at multiple points
in a month and you want the 'group' to be a month it looks alright to
me. Though if it bothers you then another option is date_trunc():

test=# select date_trunc('month', '11/02/2019 13:00'::timestamp),
date_trunc('month', '11/23/2019 13:00'::timestamp);
date_trunc | date_trunc

11/01/2019 00:00:00 | 11/01/2019 00:00:00
